About Sukkur Airport

Overview

Sukkur Airport serves the Sindh province in southeastern Pakistan, located near Mirpur Khas. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 196 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential regional aviation connectivity for the surrounding area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation and location in Sindh province suggests a generally warm and arid climate with potential for significant thermal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential heat-related performance considerations, particularly during summer months when density altitude can significantly impact aircraft capabilities.

Notable Features

The single runway 14/32 is a substantial 9000-foot asphalt surface, providing ample length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 27.722000, 68.791702 place the airport in a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Sindh regional landscape.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway oriented 14/32, wind conditions will likely influence preferred approach and departure directions. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessment prior to arrival to determine optimal runway usage and potential crosswind considerations given the runway's single orientation.
